It's difficult to find halogens these days so I don't know what I'm going to do when my stock has run out.

Switching them out isn't that big a deal. Newer LEDs are a lot friendlier in handling voltage issues. You used to have to get a ballast or total rewire even 5 years ago. Otherwise, the light would often flicker and unreliable.
There are LEDs that are plug and play now even in the popular halogen bulb configuration.
The savings are totally worth it, and with a little research you can find LED bulbs able to give you the type of light and to your desired warmth (temperature).
I have a floor lamp that was originally halogen, and wanted to switch it to LED a few years ago. It was over $2k when I got it and didn't want to replace it, but was determined to outfit my place all to LED. Probably only cost $35 to rewire it and swap out the dimmer foot paddle.
